visible backing - more than fully brokens loops - cobwebbing with a fibre length of 15 mm or more Suitable for normal and heavy class Moderate changes at the area of the stair edge e.g.: - not more than broken loops over the whole width - cobwebbing with a fibre length of mm to 15 mm; - moderate pattern changes at the stair edge compared to areas of the test specimen exposed to the flat treatment with the Lisson Tretrad Suitable for intense and intense prestige class Minor changes at the area of the stair edge e.g - limited filament destruction (no brokens loops) ; - cobwebbing with a fibre length of less than mm - minor pattern changes at the stair edge compared to areas of the test specimen exposed to the flat treatment with the Lisson Tretrad `,,```,,,,````-`-`,,`,,`,`,,` -
